If you're reading this, you are probably already aware that KitchenAid, Cuisinart, Krups, Calphalon, and half a dozen other brands make hand/immersion blenders that fall into basically the same price range and do basically the same thing. At the end of the day, they're all collecting about the same reviews. I'm under no illusions as to the quality of any of them over any other, and it's likely that they're all being produced by the same factories in China.

I bought this because I thought it looked better than competing offerings, and I liked the price point here at Amazon. I've used it almost daily for 8 months, so this is a pretty qualified review.

PROS:- Looks good, has a nice rubbery black texture that makes it easy to grip- chopper blade was very sharp- I thought the beaker it comes with was pretty junky, but it's actually a fantastic design. Just wide enough to fit things into, but narrow enough to make sure ingredients mix quickly and thoroughly- speed adjustments show on a backlit blue screen, making it easy to see.

CONS:- as other reviewers noted, the button is finicky. If you don't push it all the way down, on the right spot, the motor won't run full-speed (or at all)- the chopper blade dulls fairly quickly and doesn't appear replaceable. The shakes I make have walnuts and ice in them, and for about 3 weeks you could tell the blade was actually cutting through these ingredients. Now, it just smashes them up. Works about the same, but takes longer and causes a lot more vibration.- the self-contained chopper/mixer attachment is garbage. the gear that engages the blade is made of soft plastic and stripped while I was chopping up BREAD CRUMBS. I would only use this for mixing wet ingredients, or at least things that are already finely chopped.

Reality is, these appliances are going to be toast in 2 years or less, unless you drop the big money on a Bamix (and are willing to put up with its limitations and ergonomics).

As many here, I bought this blender to replace a 12 yr old Barun (no longer available in the US).It looks nice but not performing very well.

Pros:- Looks nice- Very good speed control- Comfortable to hold- Long shaft

Cons:- Very noisy relative to the of work it does - sounds plasticy.- The design of the shield that covers the blade is bad. it cause splashes everywhere.- When blending something that's relatively liquid, the blender creates a vortex that spins for food away from reach of the blades- The blade shield is wider than other mixers and doesn't fit into a coffee cup.- Not as fast and powerful as my old braun which was a third smaller

Much larger and heavier than I expected, but also much more powerful than I expected. Easily replaces my old traditional blender. One thing I wasn't expecting was that this is a full 18 inches tall and heavy! My last immersion blender was significantly smaller. So, the power is great, but the height and weight can be a drawback. My hand actually gets tired if I'm using the blender for awhile. Also, the height makes it a little awkward for me when working at the counter. Maybe it's not a problem if you're taller. (I'm 5'3".) It is incredibly powerful and adjusts from low to high easily. So, overall a very good product, but I find it a bit frustrating at times.

Also, this might sound like an odd complaint, but I think there are too many accessories! I have a small kitchen and don't really want a lot of extra stuff. All I wanted was the blender and a whisk attachment. So the "mini" chopper, which is actually way larger than a mini food processor, is something I don't want. Ditto the wall mount. Anyway, that's just me and I didn't dock stars because of it. Just thought it might be helpful for others with small kitchens to know.

The plastic collar that allows the blender shaft to be held into the body is flimsy and broke. My item is completely useless now and Amazon won't stand by the warranty past 30 days. I used it a couple times a week to make smoothies and it eventually started to wiggle around and ultimately broke. This was casual use in my kitchen, not a restaurant.

This is a replacement for a Viking professional blender, which still works but is a pain to use. This blender is very good. The shaft design is ideal even for low volumes. However, note that the shaft is not all stainless steel. It is basically a plastic part cladded with steel. So, when immersing some plastic still comes in contact with the liquid. What this means is that you should be careful about blending in hot liquids. Do not want the plastic at the bottom come in contact with the liquids. The viking was all steel (and more expensive). I would rate the Viking a 3 primarily because of the amount of effort it took to do a decent blend job.Cheers.

It is a fantastic product once I discovered something the directions didn't show. Both the beaker blade and the immersion unit come with a plastic cover on the blades. Pay attention to that and remove before use. I didn't, what a mess it made. Once removed, it is a great product for the price, even though a bit pricy, it should hold up to hot liquids.

I have been very pleased with the quality and utility of this product. The attachment points are durable and the unit is well made. The kids use it to make smoothies and it crushes ice with ease.

UPDATE:Several months ago, after about 1 year of infrequent use, the unit simply stopped working. Therefore, the rating goes from 5 to 2 stars. The unit was not abused or mishandled. I would expect to get several years out of a product like this.
